Breed specifics:
This breed is extremely friendly, docile, and easy to handle. First-time pig farmers are just amazed at how easy they truly are.
If you’re looking to start free-range pig farming, look no further than KuneKune pigs. They are easy on the environment and prefer grass instead of rooting up the earth. They are made to graze with a short snout, unlike other breeds making them very efficient grazing machines. The fact that they do not require much in the way of supplementary grains makes them very cost-effective as well.
The pork that they produce is a succulent red marbled meat, locked in a layer of fat around it keeping it juicy and locking in the flavor. Sure, they are slower to mature, but if you’re raising pigs for meat, their pork is so worth the wait. From bacon to BBQ, feeding your family from the KuneKune pigs that you raise yourself gives you a great sense of pride.
This is a breed to teach your children with. Mothers are very prolific and allow the entire family to interact with the babies from birth to weaning. Getting the kids into farming and out of electronics is always a plus. Children can learn so much about life from interactions with KuneKune pigs and you don’t have to worry about them being chased through the pastures.
Here are some other facts about this incredible breed:
Temperament
KuneKune pigs are very easy-going and social creatures. They will run to greet you when they hear you come to the pastures. They enjoy human interaction and will plop for a belly rub at a moment’s notice. They are fantastic with chickens, ducks, goats, cats, and dogs. Children are delighted to hear them “speak” to you during feeding time.
